If an object is placed between the focus and pole of a concave mirror then the position of the image obtained after reflection from the mirror is- Correct Answer Behind the mirror

CONCEPT:

  • Concave mirror: The mirror in which the rays converge after falling on it is known as the concave mirror.
    • A concave mirror is also known as a converging mirror.
    • The focal length of a concave mirror is negative according to the sign convention.
  • All the position of object and images for the concave mirror are given in the below table:
Position of the object Position of the image Size of the image Nature of the image
At infinity At focus, F Diminished and pointed in size Inverted and real
Beyond C Between F and C Diminished Inverted and real
At C At C Same size Inverted and real
Between F and C Beyond C enlarged Inverted and real
At focus, F At infinity enlarged Inverted and real
Between F and Pole Behind the mirror enlarged Erected and virtual

EXPLANATION:

  • From the above table if the object is between the focus and pole of the mirror then the position of the image obtained will be behind the mirror (virtual image).
  • So the correct answer is option 3.
